Re: Trouble with vimdiff and strace on most recent cygwin

[Thomas Shanks <thomas dot shanks at gmail dot com>]

Here are the error messages (from the attachment text) that vimdiff
and strace gave:

$ vimdiff  /etc/skel/.bashrc ~/.bashrc

$ strace vimdiff  /etc/skel/.bashrc ~/.bashrc

Strace always provides the same error message, while vimdiff changes
the message slightly each time, sometimes adding a few extra other
error messages afterwards.  You can see more instances of the vimdiff
error in the second attachment.
